    You need a ball joint puller... and then a big hammer to whack it out.

    The upper ball joint should not be removed. The entire arm should be replaced.

          That's it right there. You can rent a kit for free from Advanced Auto Parts. Not all the stores do it though, so call ahead.

          Pretty easy little job.

            I can't take the castle nut from the bottom off because my impact gun is too big ><

            i think i'm going to homedepot to buy right angle cordless impact wrench and get it off

              You don't need an impact gun for the castle nut anyway. It shouldn't be on there that tight. Honestly, there's very little on our cars that you NEED an impact gun for.

                  Then the chances are that someone used an impact gun to put everything on...

                  That, or you have not yet mastered the art of the huge breaker bar.

                      I dont know man I seen too many people hold a wrench in the wrong position most of the time and they fail to grip it right......anyways I don't use actual breaker bars what I do instead is add a hollow piece of steel tube that fits onto the 1\2 rachet!

                      Its ghetto time! This is my adjustable manual torque wrench!

                        sup bro, for the lower ball joint I do it like this: put a 3/8 ratchet handle(the flat kind) in between the arm and knuckle and step on the top.

                          On the upper joint I just changed the entire arm. Pretty cheap really.

                          The lower joint is a pain. However my first ball joint change I used a huge punch and a BFH to get it out then the same to put it in (I don't suggest this). Within a few months I paid a shop to remove and install another new joint.
